Division CARPOCORARIA. 



This division can be separated at once from the Amyntaria by 

 the shape of the head, which, \A'hilst always moderately and some- 

 times very large, is not triangular, though sometimes a little 

 narrowed in front, and often rounded ; the lobes are of equal 

 length, or the lateral slightly longer than the central, but never 

 meeting beyond it, sometimes the central lobe is a little prominent, 

 as in Gap2Jaa ; the margins of the pronotum are entire, not serrate, 

 though obsoletely so in Mormidella. 



This includes the Divisions Troinjcorypharia, Gap])cear%a, and 

 Caypocoraria defined by Stal (En. Hem. v, 1876) and named by 

 Atkinson (J. A. S. B. 1888, Ivii, pp. 19, 21, 29).
